It has been snowing for over a week now and it's really coming down once again!!. Lake effect sucks azz, they should fill in lake erie...

We have right now over 3 feet of snow and now maybe another 1 or 2 by morning.. I need a HUG!!!!
This is a real nightmare and my main plow truck busted a flywheel last night while plowing, now i am back to my backup 85 blazer, a beast for sure but not very warm...

You mean yer best friend Habs is not there to keep you warm? Dang! He's not nearly as much a friend as he is a ......

Weather here sucked real bad too. We've been having an early winter too with cold temps. Why just today it was only 69 with the threat of extra sunshine thru Thursday with cold temps in the 70's.

GOOD for you........... its all fine while you have somewhere to push it but that space is fast running out.
I have plenty of equipment to push snow around i just hate doing it and it seems each year i hate it more and more..... I don't mind a few inches of snow but i do know Habs likes at least a foot....

My guess is he would love to have one of those TSA jobs at the airport.
He could fondle people all day long and get paid for it.


Then he would wear one of those T-shirts with the slogan "You never work a day in your life when you do something you love"

HAHAHA
